Vote for your favorite horizontal shmup HuCard!
« on: January 08, 2012, 10:21:30 AM »
If I've missed any, let me know.  Some games on here are kind of stretching the bounds of shmupdom (Mr. Heli, Veigues) but I'll include them anyway.  I didn't include Salamander, as it has vertical stages.

I think I'm going to have to go with Air Zonk.  Aeroblasters is a close second in my book.  And for nostalgia's sake, R-Type gets an honorable mention for getting me hooked on the system in the first place.  But overall, Air Zonk wins it for me.

Great poll, btw!

Aeroblasters and Air Zonk are definitely good, but Parodius Da! takes the cake for me.

I had to go with Aldynes.  R-Type and Parodius are pretty close, and Aeroblasters is great 2-player fun, but Aldynes just has this original, hardcore, gritty feel to it that I love.  It almost feels like a spiritual precursor to Gate Of Thunder and some of the same people worked on both games, iirc.  R-Type flickers a bit too much so that it affects the gameplay a little bit, and Parodius and Air Zonk are awesome but I've never been a big fan of cute-em-ups.  The no-gravity levels in Aeroblasters kind of drag it down, for me.

Since there is no multiple choice, I have to stick with R-Type :)

AeroBlasters did it for me. The only think I didn't like about that game was the flicker, something Chris C. could probably resolve with a SuperGrafx upgrade similar to what he's got in the works for R-Type.

I'd have to say Aero Blasters, I really like this one.

I voted Saint Dragon just because I don't expect it to get any votes, plus I think it's a cool game. 8)

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
